Gabriel is a gem cutter and jewelry artist specializing in Ethiopian Opals and Emeralds. He travels to Ethiopia to hand select the highest quality rough opals and emeralds directly from the mines and then in his downtown Los Angeles studio he cuts or hand carves the gemstones and designs one of a kind settings for them. Gabriel has established a dedicated following and longtime collectors worldwide for his carved opals and jewelry.​

“What I set out to create when designing a new piece of jewelry is a piece that is inspiring and timeless. I find that Opals are the perfect stones to help me create jewelry art that has the elements of wonder, inspiration and can captivate us.”
